Variation among Broken Links on Various Websites

ABSTRACT

With the development of site content it is turned out to be hard to oversee relations between Individual site page

and monitor their hyperlinks inside a site. This causes some Hyperlink turn out to be dead or broken. A broken

Link is a connection on a site page that no longer works. It is hard to discover the broken connection physically

by checking every hyperlink separately in light of the fact that it is tedious and dreary work. So to dispense with

this we can utilize the selenium webdriver instrument and java code to automate testing of every hyperlink

independently. The goal of this thesis is to compare finding of broken links utilizing selenium web driver

instrument.

Keywords: automate, broken, discover,hyperlink , webdriver

I. INTRODUCTION

Selenium web driver is an tool for automation of sites. Selenium is an open source Automation testing apparatus

for electronic applications. It runs specifically on program and backings every single accessible program, for

example, Firefox, chrome, IE, Opera, Safari and so on it gives an easy to understand API which we can

comprehend and investigate effectively, accordingly it will read and keep up your content simpler. It has classes

in Web driver which help us to reproduce key press occasions of keyboard. It enables us to recreate the clicking

of program front and back catch. Selenium offers an easy to use interface that makes and execute tests

effortlessly and successfully. Its Open-Source highlights help clients to content their own particular expansions

that makes them simple to create redid activities and even control at a progressed level. Tests run specifically

crosswise over programs and the clients can watch while the tests are being executed. Also, Selenium's

announcing abilities are one reason for picking it, as it enables analysers to separate the outcomes and take

follow-up activities. Selenium does not confine Quality confirmation decision of revealing apparatuses,

construct frameworks or some other part of their testing system. It coordinates well with prominent devices, for

example, Hudson, Sauce Labs, Selenium-Grid, QMetry and others. Selenium utilizes less Hardware assets.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

Harpreet Kaur, Dr.Gagan Gupta[1]: This paper presents one can select a testing tool based on the type of

application need to be tested, budget, and the efficiency required. If your test automation requirements are

getting fulfilled with Test Complete, there is no need to go for QTP at a higher cost. Both these tools solve the

same purpose, it is just that QTP is a versatile tool for a critical and more risky Application Under Test

(AUT).Selenium can also be used if you don’t want to spend on testing tool. In conclusion, QTP is the best tool

among the three.

Jagannatha , Niranjanamurthy , Manushree , Chaitra[2]:This paper describes about various components of

selenium like selenium IDE,Selenium Grid,Selenium Web driver commands used and comparsion with

QTP.This paper also tells about uses of selenium tool with respect to different industries like Bio-tech,e-

commerce,travel ,pharmaceutical etc.

Sherry Singla ,Harpreet kaur[3]:This paper tells about keyword driven method used for autmation of testing

instead of use of multiple functions they have abstracted those function to excel and in excel they have made

excel data set on which they perform testing with the help of program.

Regina Ranstrom[4]: This paper presents when we are developing web software, the ultimate goal of the tester

or developer is to ensure that the application is tested often and thoroughly. More often than not, creating

automated test scripts is the best way to be sure that this goal is accomplished. If modifying or refactoring the

test script does become necessary, there are ways to make sure this job is done quickly and correctly. The main

way is to avoid test duplication. By keeping specific tests self contained, they can be reused in several places

and only one modification would be necessary for all instances.

Ms. Rigzin Angmo, Mrs. Monika Sharma[5]:This paper tells about framework of selenium.How different

functions and platform are useful for progammer to automate the testing.This paper also tells about record and

play function of this tool.How we can choose framework in order to save time and money and how with the help

of choosing good framework we can improve the quality of software.

Chandraprabha1, Ajeet Kumar, Sajal Saxena[6]:This paper describes about using of selenium web driver.and

they have separate the code and used for the purpose of reuasability.This paper tells about how the data which is

extracted will be used for excel files and program is written for accessing those files. So overall purpose of this

paper is to develop Data driven framework for automation testing.

Preeti Yadav, Ajay Kumar[7]:This paper tells about usage of selenium components effectiveness and usability

of this tool. It is based on comparitive Study of selenium tools and also describes testing tools and features like

web testing and window applications and also its components like IDE,CORE and RC.

Nidhika uppal[8]: In This paper describes the all components of selenium have a number of limitations which

restricts use of selenium as automation testing tool .Selenium IDE only as test automation tool the functionality

cannot be tested on all browsers. Web Driver is the latest version of selenium and is very strong. It removed lots

of drawbacks in RC and selenium IDE. Selenium testing tool develop a common platform where all tools can be

grouped and used together and enhance the selenium tools. The future can Enhance Selenium functionality by

adding more window based controls. Error Element highlighting. Image comparison can be implemented using

open source image comparison tools and merge them with selenium.

IV. CONCLUSION

Selenium is a system involves many devices utilized for testing web applications and it has an astounding

structure to computerize process. The principle advantage of utilizing mechanized devices is to stay away from

manual endeavors. It utilizes distinctive stages and programming dialects for Automation Framework. Manual

testing is tedious requires overwhelming interest in human resource. In this paper we have taken every necessary

step to Identify total number of connections and out of that what number of are effective and what number of

connections are broken on site page by utilizing Automation testing instrument Selenium web driver. We have

robotize the way toward finding broken connections as opposed to check physically each connection

independently. This will give the check of connections and furthermore report the broken connections..
